The inflatable figure wore white robes with a swastika, held a hood and stood next to a sign that read, “Make America Hate Again.”

A CNN reporter at the scene attributed the giant inflatable Trump to protesters outside his rally.

"These are people who are demonstrating and representing immigrant rights groups, civil rights groups," CNN reporter Ana Cabrera said. "They are residents here in the Phoenix area. And they do not like Donald Trump, clearly."

Cabrera said the protesters "want to send a powerful message to him and the rest of America" by tying Trump to the symbol of racism and hatred.
